Scope and content
A seventeenth-century manuscript containing memoranda relating to the Lloyd family of Llwydiarth, Llanerchymedd, Anglesey, and poems and prose extracts in Welsh, English and Latin. Some of the memorande are ascribed to David Lloyd (1576-1651) of Llwydiarth, his son Montague Lloyd (b. 1612), and Montague's children Hugh Lloyd (1649-1674) and Jane Lloyd (b. 1653). The Welsh poems include cywyddau, englynion, dyriau and ballads by John Gruffydd, Hugh Bulkley'r Gwydd, Robert Thomas, Evan Thomas, John Tuder and Ficker Llanymddyfri; one of the ballads commemorates the victory of the Dutch over the Spaniards in the Battle of the Downs, 1639 (ff. 35-36 verso). Several of the poems were transcribed by Hugh Lloyd in 1670.
